The Mrs ba xr6

Since we've had the little fella come along it has been a bit of a squeeze in the echo. So in search of a bit of room and safety for the wife and little guy, I've been on the look out for something like this.

It's not perfect, but not bad. Walking past in the sun you'd never know. With 95,000 on the clock I don't think I can go wrong.

Lol 3k gets you a barely run in 850000 km old taxi up here. Well, you would probably get two of them for that price but I digress.
Clean tidy low km ba's still aren't all that cheap.

hahaha just the way you said it man, figured it was cheaper than average.
i reckon 5200 now.
you can pick up a normal BA with reg in vic for 1k no worries, i understand thats not the same as a low km xr but the prices are getting lower frequently.
BA+ XR6 are wayy more common than the earlier models so i don't think they're worth as much as the previous models were.

Misk find me a ba with less than 300, 000 on it for $1000.

Why the f##k would you do a dohc conversion if you can get a ba so cheap?

Nice ba mate.

how can i be off on what i have seen advertised?
if you're gonna be like that **** on facebook who tried to make me look like a dickhead cause i don't pay wrecker prices for my car parts then fuckin jog on.

whenever i've looked at buying a BA there was several choices around the 1k mark with reg and i was able to get anyone that was over 1k (say 1300) down to 1k.

i never said it was a showroom example, only that prices are coming down.
i would still laugh at someone for paying over $7k for a ba xr6. BF, not so, but ba, yes.

I thought the XR's had red rocker covers? Still a very clean example of a nice car though. Nice kms for a BA too, I would be happy with one in Blueprint too

Cheapest BAs that I've seen around the traps in respectable order are 250+ km, generally out of rego and around the $2700 mark.

I'll buy 2 with reg at $1k. Link me. Even RWOs smashed to shit get over $1k. Thats taxi price.

If you got it under 7k that's a bloody good deal!
I bought my BA wagon for 3k with 260k on the clock two years and I couldn't find nothing even close to that price.

Looks bloody neat mate, should be a good family car!

$5700?
Definitely looks tidy enough, some silver/machined rims will look mint on it.

Mates brother just offloaded his BA XT 5spd with XR kit for $4k. Had over 350k kms but was super tidy bar marks on the boot. Fella drove up from Sydney to pick it up too - 1300 km round trip.

Links bud. I'll believe it when I see it.

Maybe start a new thread when you find one.

And good car btw man, I had a blueprint XR6T once. You're not a true Ford fan till you've had a Blueprint BA lol.

Cheers guys. It was $6500. Some may say that's a lot for a ba, but it is exactly what I wanted, has low k's and didn't have to fly across the country to get it. so for me , it was a good deal.

For $6500, and for the intended purpose, I'd say you got a great deal!!
